Z.X. Zhao is a jewellery artist and designer from Guangzhou, China, currently residing in the United Kingdom. She earned a BA in Jewellery Design from the University of the Arts London and later completed her MA in Jewellery and Metal at the Royal College of Art. Her early interest in systems like the I Ching and Tarot sparked a curiosity about how people find spiritual comfort—not only through symbolism or prediction but also through personal rituals of reflection and connection. This curiosity deepened as she faced a long-term struggle with insomnia, prompting her to explore more grounded and sensory approaches to supporting emotional well-being. Rather than treating healing as an abstract concept, Zhao engages with the five senses—especially scent and sight—to create wearable pieces that provide calmness and a sense of gentle protection. Her work combines natural fragrances, body adornment, and domestic-scale installations, blurring the line between jewellery and emotional space. Through these intimate objects, she invites moments of quiet restoration into everyday life.
